A Flea Bite

it hopped up on to my leg, a nasty fat little flea, and it took a greedy bite - i could die of plague. i tried to catch the insect, shouting, ’why did you bite me?’ my leg was very itchy - then it hopped on bob… jack horne for Linda-marie’s bite me contest

Hey, this is a wonderful write! I rather liked the way you wrote, "and it took a greedy bite -, i could die of the plague" I sure hope you don't die of that. There could be many that follow you, so I really hope that YOU and others around you don't die from the plague! And you pass it on to Bob...ha ha, I hope he likes that!! I really enjoyed your write that I have read this evening! Great Work!!
